` emptying can take place normally.

All the Walls being integral, the points of attachment can besufficiently far apart and these attachments may be either hooks d or rivets e. if the points of attachment are Worn by the liquid and lose their security in the attachment of the belt, it can be secured at other points Without changing the chain itself.

In order to increase the output one canv cause two or more undulated bands shown inFig. l to Work together, leaving between them sufficient space `that the filling and Both bands can be held together by convenient f means? for example by a metallic band 1 or otherwise, Fig. 5. Several bands can also be made to operate at the side of each other Without being held together by providing to surround the cable or bandwith a metallic band s which fixes them together. c

Fig. 8 shows how a band can be mounted on' a chain. g

It must be understood that any other arrangement )vhere the cells are obtained by folded or undulated strips or formingindependent elements secured in similar fashion and giving analogous results would come l Within the scope of this invention valthough not possessing the advantages relative to the fixing and construction, kas the continuous band. f

Having now described the natureof my invention what l claim is:

l. A band continuous throughout and formed of flexible material folded back upon itself in the sense of its Width to constitute a series of cells of practically Wedge shape superposed upon each otherand separated by a thin Wall offering but slight resistance to the lateral air.

2. A' band continuous throughout and formed of flexible material folded back upon itself in the sense of its Width to constitute a series of cells of practically wedge shape, superposed upon each other and separated by a thin Wall offering but slight resistance to the lateral air, said band adapted to he used alone or fixed flat or edgevvise on a support as a flat endless belt or chain so that the band can by plunging With its partin the liquid, lill the cells by simple immersion7 retain the liquid by Capillary actionv during the ascent and empty by centrifugal action and its Weight.k p

3. The form of band as under claim l, together With a plurality of supports each carrying one of such bands.

4. A multiplicity of bands as under claim l, and a support` to which they are affixed.

5.A A inultiplieityof bands as under claim rl, and a support to Which said bands are attached, said support being a flat metallic cable composed of strands united together. in testimony whereof l afliX my signature in the presence of a Witness.
